I know that in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Bermuda Triangle is the "weird shit" area, which may include the Amazons. Certainly, it's common in fanfiction.
Well, actually, we know that the Amazons aren't there in canon because they're busy running Amazon.
I'm running it as not for profit. My reward is that I get to be the man who leads the Human race back into space. And I intend to give your father full credit for his work. How does a… Theodore Knight Foundation sound?"
"thank you"
Cheep energy must be adorable.True, but when an old man writes in saying that he has a device that can produce unlimited cheep energy, they don't send their chief researcher.
"find"
Literally the second line in my comment, because I remembered it while halfway through writing it. But IIRC the Sea of Monsters is basically just the "weird shit that can only be reached by boat resides here" place, which is why both Circe and the cyclops I can't remember the name of were there. So it would totally have been possible for the Amazons to live in the Sea of Monsters, they just didn't because they wanted to establish world domination by controlling the shipping industry or something like that.In Percy Jackson, the Amazons aren't there...it's the Sea of Monsters that's in there.
The Amazons run Amazon.com in that universe...though Circe did have a resort island there until the heroes let loose Blackbeard and a bunch of pirates who kind of wrecked it as they left the place.
So it looks like Grayven is making impressive inroads to getting Lex to forgive him for the whole Light fiasco. The thing that jumps out the most to me in this scene though is a lack of Mercy."I want to build a fleet. It's long past time humanity extended its reach into deep space. And with your father's technology, we can make that happen
Paul: "Now that I've killed who I wanted to kill, I don't have to pretend to be nice all the time."
Grayven: "I just got Lex flippin' Luthor speaking with the blue light of hope."
Grandpa Knight: "You don't give anyone nukes..."
...if Grayven has actually managed to reform Luthor, or... con him into reforming himself?... I will be amazed.
Right now, I think I'll take a "distrust but verify" stance.
See, the whole benefit of orange light negotiation is that you don't have to reform anyone. Just convince them that your way is better for them, and they're in. Angelica Blaze will join the Justice League not because she really shares any of its ideals, but because it's in her interests not to stare at a wall all day waiting for her brother to find her and then torture her eternally. Lex isn't reformed, he was simply shown a way of getting what he wants that both isn't dumb and helps other people....if Grayven has actually managed to reform Luthor, or... con him into reforming himself?... I will be amazed.

Thank you, corrected.This link is broken, I believe. Here is the link in the main thread, so you can easily fix both.
No, you don't. It's a major shipping lane. That's the last place you put something you want to keep secret.And let's face it, if you want to put some sort of secret magic island untouched by man you put it there.
I don't know if it works the same in the UK, but in the US patenting something requires sending the blueprints for it along side in many cases a working prototype to the US government."I bought the patents myself, in my capacity as a private citizen. I already have people scouting possible locations for the production facility. Or…" He glances back at the Starseeker. "Perhaps facilities."
In the main timeline, Jack Knight gave it to her when he retired.
Ehh, kinda. Unlike the Guardians Oh El can still feel other emotions, and it's not like he can stop right now.Fun thing is, Oh EL made the same mistake he blames the Greenies of doing, basically running too much with a single emotion light, while Grayven is using several.
Let's assume that Savage pulled some strings so that didn't happen.At which point the US government along side any government contractors can use the technology however they wish so long as 'reasonable and entire compensation' which is usually "set at ten percent of sales or less". is paid to the patent holder.

So if this tech was patented we should see it in heavy use by the US military by now.
Also the Term of Utility Patents (Which is defined as a patent that covers the creation of a new or improved – and useful – product, process or machine.) in the US is only 20 years from the date of filing.Let's assume that Savage pulled some strings so that didn't happen.
That can be handwaved away a number of ways. For example, maybe the Sun is so big and close that it overloads the system, like trying to drink from a fire hose. Or maybe whatever it absorbs from stars is a decay product of something else, and it takes a few light hours before the original emanation decays into the proper form.Never did get how starman's rod didn't replenish itself during the day. The sun is just another star for crying out loud.
I find it amazing how this latest entry was posted not that long after Elon Musk's (a.k.a real life Lex Luthor/Tony Stark) Falcon X had a pretty successful launch.
